Jul 25, 2003 9:45 PM | | I called Gene Spicer and got one of his adapter plates. I told him I would shoot a few pictures for him. Here they if anyone would like to see how it fits on a King hub.
Thanks Freddy, it's true, it's fits great!

| Nice wide ramp | SSJerry
Jul 25, 2003 9:46 PM | | The ramp is plenty wide to protect the aluminum cassette body |
| Fits the 58mm ring size | SSJerry
Jul 25, 2003 9:47 PM | | He also has nice alloy ring bolts |
| Flip side | SSJerry
Jul 25, 2003 9:49 PM | | This is a picture of the adapter itself - Titanium. |
| Nice looking thing | SSJerry
Jul 25, 2003 9:50 PM | | Wish I had invented that.

Jul 26, 2003 4:37 AM | | Think Aluminum bolts are strong enough here? I had them in mine then after thinking about it I switched them back to regular bolts - didn't want a mechanical on the trail?? Just asking opinions? If everyone thinks it's ok - I'll put the alloy ones back in there.

Jul 26, 2003 7:06 AM | | I thought about using aluminum chainring bolts but it just didn't seem like a good idea. But then I weigh 195# and have ripped a hub in half in a past life so I'm a little wary of things like aluminum chainring bolts...
To each his own.

P.S. By the way, the device is generally referred to as a "GCA" (Granny Cog Adapter) not a "GSA" -- or is Gene calling it a GSA (Granny Spline Adapter)? It's Gene's thing, so whatever, but it'd be nice if we all referred to it by the same name for easy understanding during conversation. |
| You are right | SS Jerry
Jul 26, 2003 9:37 AM | | I probably typed in a wrong letter. The "S" and "C" are so close in inter-continental relationship on the keyboard. My Error.
I use the alloy bolts now adays. I used them on both of my MTB's and have never had a failure. But pushing 50, I don't do he 5 foot table drops ot ride trials anymore....

Jul 27, 2003 9:52 PM | | Nice! Hmm, but I ride 34-17 on my KM so far.
Do you mount the granny gears mounted the other way around, as the chain now comes from the other side? Or are granny gear rings actually symmetrically teethed? |
| Bolts should be fine | 2PAAD
Jul 26, 2003 4:46 PM | | I mean, some of us run alum chainring bolts......I would think the smaller dia bolt pattern will work in their favor for strength.
